I got my swap package from frosty772 today! Unfortunately, I can't find my camera and was going to just scan the items as best as I could but the scan images do not do the items justice. So you'll have to wait til I can find my camera or frosty772 will have to post pix

She sent me a beaded ribbon bookmark. There beads are clear and translucent green, and the ribbon is kinda irridescent.

Also a set of plastic GLITTER!!! crochet hooks! Thanks - there were definitely a few sizes that I misplaced somewhere.

And a variety pack of incense

And an envelope that I'll open later, with three wishing stones and instructions on how to use 'em.

and a green bag lined in white, embroidered with a sun and some doves and my initials. Frosty's allegedly a rookie embroiderer, but it looks fine.

AND a notebook with a cover embroidered with the virgo symbol. I think I might use it as a garden specific notebook.

AND finally, a wand - base is painted black, with red ribbon woven around and little pearlies glued into place - it's inspired by the triple goddess. well thought out and perfect.

Finally! We now have more food in the house than 8 adults (ie those I have coming this weekend) could conceivably eat in 1 sitting! Though, I did accidentally forget to get the meat for Xmas day, I was so busy preparing for Yule that I forgot that we're doing both )

Aaaaanyway, here's the wonderful package that IntrepidYarn sent me...

Everything together

And the bits on their own:

A beautiful altar cloth, which means I've run out of excuses not to have an altar set up full time now, it's too nice to hide away!

A lovely (and quite roomy!) knitted and lined bag, which (again) means I've no excuses for not gathering my seasonal altar stuff into one place, so I don't have any more mad scrabbles to find bits and pieces (and, of course, end up losing everything I can't easily get hold of!)

2 clay (?) discs, one representing the Goddess and one representing the cycle of life and death (during our messages I told Sabine about how I tend to favour Samhain because it gives me an opportunity to celebrate my dads life, he died when I was a teenager, and unlike other times (his birthday, anniversary of his death) it means it's a celebration, rather than a memoriam). The red is glittery as well, but I couldn't get that to show up

Yay ! I'm so glad you like everything ! The Pratchett paper was made by Picklesticks for the Pratchett swap and when I saw your MySpace I knew I had to write a note on it for you I think your package may be arrived, I'll post pics as soon as I get it.

I Received!! And oooh my do I have swappers anxiety now! My package from CrochetWitch is sooooooo awesome!

First off let me say I am seriously impressed. I didn't give her the easiest set of information to go off of, and I can't believe how wonderfully she brought my path into her gifts. Kudos to CrochetWitch for her obvious hard work, and serious thought about my path.

In my package were;

2 Hand Milled Soaps. They are soo beautiful, I can't wait to use them for rituals! Perfect way to set the mood.

A lovely bag of chamomile for the bath as well. I'm feeling pampered already!

A most luxurious crocheted washcloth in the shape of a triangle for Malkuth representing Earth. The colors are just perfect and man oh man it is sooo soft feeling. I can't wait to put it to good use!

An awesome alter cloth in a fall pattern along with a matching pouch that is the perfect size for some of my larger stones.

Three beautiful bracelets that will be perfect as spell reminders, chant counters, and various other things.

And a gorgeous hand bag! Seriously wow!

Thank you soooo much CrochetWitch for all of these beautiful gifts. I'm going to treasure them!

Here is a pic with everything together. The box it all came in is in the back. Can you believe even the postage box is pretty?

These are the awesome bracelets

Here are the soaps and the chamomile

And here is the beautiful bag she made me. The colors are spot on for my mundane wardrobe.

and last but not least here is the awesome washcloth. I can't believe how excited I am about a wash cloth, serious.

Anyways without further ado, here is all the gorgeous stuff I receive from vinnie, all the piccies are clickable.

Everything

This was one thing I said I might like to receive. Runes! They really cool, I love the green on the edges Vinnie is such a crafty goddess She burned the symbols on the wood herself and foiled the edges

Very cool decorated and embroidered, hand made book! You'll notice a bit of a pomegranate theme hehe. This is because I said Persephone is a goddess that interests me.(Pics of outside and inside the book, pages are stamped with a pomegrante shape I also got a coin purse/wristlet(?) that matches the note book and is also, just gorgeous : )

Believe it or not! A hand made frame Just how much does this rock?!?It has an etched cat on it, Vinnie said it's to protect whoever is in the frame The frame also comes with a red matt, incase I feel like changing it out

Next up a cute necklace, which will not adorn my necklace cause of the breakableness of the pomegranate. This is sooo cute Good job with the clay Anna! (I keep under or over cooking mine hehe)

Aaaaaaannnnnd, last but by no means least, she sent along Ozzy the Bat, sun catcher Who i am absolutely enamored with hehe

Thanks so much Vinnie!

Edit: I've just realised I left out your twiggy pentacle I will put up a pic tomorrow, unless you'd like to post it for me
